I just got back from a trip in my 1991 Olds Custom Cruiser.  Went to Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana.  The car performed flawlessly, but I did lose a piece of my trim.

Anyone got any ideas?  Bondo and paint?  Try to find a replacement panel?  Not many junkyards around here.  Anyone got one to sell?

Photo of affected right rear passenger door here:

By the way, I noticed how much my baby loves high speed.  I got better gas mileage doing 75-80 mph that doing 60-70.  I averaged around 24-25 mpg, and peaked at 25.5 mpg.  This surprised some of my family and friends who assumed an old station wagon with a V8 would do much worse.

That's commonly called the flyaway because...you know why. Someone here should have one for you. Jeff

When you finally find one, glue it back on with windshield urethane glue. Then it will not fly away any more.

They are few and far between, and fly off the shelf as fast as I get them.
